Sportsnet's reputable NHL insider, Elliotte Friedman, has revealed that Corey Perry, a seasoned forward with a Stanley Cup victory to his name, will be hitting the unrestricted free agent market.
This means that any team in the league will have the opportunity to offer him a contract. One team that should seriously consider pursuing Perry is the Chicago Blackhawks, and they might even want to consider offering him a league-minimum deal.
Perry brings a wealth of experience and a gritty style of play to the table. Known for his aggressive nature, he is never one to shy away from standing up for his teammates. This characteristic would make him a valuable asset, especially when it comes to protecting younger players like 19-year-old phenom Connor Bedard.
While Perry is 38 years old, his commitment to the game and his ability to make an impact on the ice are undeniable. Offering him a league-minimum deal would be a low-risk move for the Blackhawks, potentially providing them with a veteran presence and a player who can make a difference in crucial moments.
As the free agency period approaches, it will be intriguing to see which teams show interest in Perry and whether the Blackhawks will seize the opportunity to add his skill set and leadership to their roster
